    Awesome pieces, Alex.. Creatively blending environmental wonders & offering/revealing historically relevant elements are all set to beautifully curated soundscapes, applicable to each individual treck. The resulting multi-dimension montages are unique & top-notch! How incredibly redeeming it must be to have submerged yourself unto such majestically poignant atmospheres, ultimately producing very spellbinding content. Thanks for sharing!

    From what I understand the spirals indicate a water source?
    If I was there I'd probably never leave. I'd spend the rest of my days living and roaming around the cliffs and mesas searching for ancient structures every waking moment. I love ancient history, to walk through it, touch it, live beside it would be the best life I can imagine.

    I just discovered this site. I'm glad I did. The site at that starts at 22:21, looks blown up, not naturally decomposed. It's more of a debri field. When everything is in pieces, something bad happened. I'm working on a video, showing the difference between natural erosion and purposeful destruction.The Calvary was ordered to exterminate Native American People and they were getting a quarter a scalp, then, raised the price to $5. I'm so disgusted with the government with how they handled the Native American People. The history that has been lost is immense. We need to preserve what is left. Thank You for the videos. Stuff like this video, are a step in the right direction.

    It's amazing that people find the so amazing like they're so far ahead and 860 the Church of Notre Dame was built. Don't get me wrong love watching this like watching the work of the atlanteans. That will come to light as soon as the smithsonian's destroyed. For whatever reason they don't want us to know our true history in America or the world. All the Egyptian names in the Grand Canyon we're told To Us by the Native Americans who had no idea there was a place called Egypt with the same names. why isn't anyone talking about this PS Anasazi means ancient ones before what we call the Native Americans ask a Zuni about their history?

    According to the Navajo, these people were slavers. (Anasazi)
    Their people died out because other tribes refused to trade with them after they started to fall from honor.

    Why native moved out from the old ancient cave dweller is that earth quick, volcanic exploration, disease came with Turkey people, they said, they came from the land of Turkey land. Killed alot of native, but survived the diseases. The turkey immigrants stayed with Navajos. They got lost in the wide great water. They didnt tried to back. Navajo men were knitters, crocs for the family. Navajos were great writer, read. The enemies citizens their tongues out, cut the fingers off, cut the feet off. Stole the rest golden paper booklet of plates. But god told them one day u will get your books back, write, read again!!
